these are the episodes that get to ya. watching dean (hardened shell 'don't need no one' dean) get all soft and attached to a kid really tugs at the heart strings, and it also makes dean a lot more likeable as a character. we get to see a completely different side to him, and we also learn a lot more about dean's past as he's able to relate to lucas.

there is also a little less conflict between sam and dean in this one. sam sort of takes the back seat (as this episode is kinda dean-centric) and even sam is able to see how dean connects to lucas. they're able to have a heart-to-heart (as distant as they still are) and i really enjoyed the softer tone that this episode gave with getting to know the characters.
